“Logistics” ain’t easy….
"As an infantryman, I used to be no more
interested in logistics than what you could
stuff in a rucksack. Now I know that,
although the tactics aren't easy, they're
relatively simple when compared to the
logistics."
Maj. Gen. David H. Petraeus
101st Airborne Division March, 2003, OIF
